Why I looked at this book
While it is important to get away from the discrimination that women have experienced, the idea that men and women are essentially interchangable when it comes to employment is a questionable assumption. I certainly think it likely that men and women have different skills, and that this should be taken into account in employment policy. But what might these differences be? I seem to remember having heard that in the early days of IQ tests, girls tended to scored higher than boys, but a fudge factor was added to hide this. Is it possible that talent is being wasted when women are pressured to fit into roles which have developed in an all male environment? That's what I hope to find out from this book.
